Wife sues husband for allegedly spending more nights with second wife

A 35-year old woman, Maryam
Mohammed, on Monday sued her
husband, Adamu Mohammed, before an
Area Court in Lugbe, Abuja for allegedly
spending more nights with his second
wife.
The Plaintiff, who lives in Sabon-Lugbe on
Airport Road, accused her husband, also of the
same address, of neglect, selfishness and
starving her of s*x and food.
Maryam said her parents had been sending food
to her.
She, therefore, urged the court to dissolve the
marriage forthwith, to enable her to marry
another man who can take care of her.
"My Lord, whenever it is my turn for the night,
my husband would sneak into the bedroom of
my second and spend the night there.
"He has neglected me, he has become very
selfish and no longer gives me food or money for
my feeding.
"Rather, it is my parents who have been sending
me food. I am seeking immediate divorce to
enable me to marry a man that can take care of
me,'' she said.
The defendant, however, denied his wife's
claims.
Mohammed said he could not satisfy his wife's
needs because he had been sick for a long time.
"My Lord, I cannot satisfy her needs because of
my prolonged illness. Now that I am getting
better and I still love her, I urge her to stay and
the court should not grant her any divorce,'' he
said.
The Presiding Judge, Mr Haruna Masanawa,
adjourned the case to June 3 for further hearing
and directed both parties to come with their
parents or witnesses.
